Just Picture It Now

For some reason I cannot open any of the documents you linked to, but I will take a stab at the termination.

At one point I had two retail locations. The first one I acquired was formerly called Universal Travel located in Annapolis, MD. I acquired a second retail location formerly called New Horizons Travel located in Arnold, MD. In addition, we had on site locations at clients in Milan, Wimbledon, Stevensville, MD, and Destin FL.

In 2001 (way before you were in this MLM) there was an event that hurt this industry that occurred on 9-11-2001. Yo may have heard about it.

Well, the Annapolis location was closed in a cost cutting measure. I did not want to terminate any of the employees as business began to tank. So we closed the Annapolis office (Universal Travel) and consolidated it into the Arnold location (New Horizons). The timing was right as the Annapolis lease was up for renewal and the Arnold location has a lot of underused space and there was a lot of time left on that lease.

So, naturally, Carlson would indicate that the Annapolis location was closed or terminated as you put it.

But I woudl be curious as to the content of your "black gold" maybe you can forward it to me as an attachment?

Based Universal Travel being on page “4 of 9” there were some 180 Agencies just with Carlson alone that closed their doors.

But none of these TTA’s want to admit that Brick and Mortars are closing down.

He should have stayed with Carlson, much better name to partner with than TravelswithFred.

So I wonder who was lying? John or Roger?
$10K says the Roger just wanted to get rid of John and told him whatever he wanted to hear. (You know how obnoxious John can be.)
Either that, or John just made it up thinking nobody would be able to check to verify.
As usual, excellent documentation Doug!

Didn't you post something about New Horizon Travel too? (A couple days ago.) You might want to ask him what happened to that "Agency" along with this Universal one.

From the article it was posted that not only was New Horizon with Carlson, but John was the President of Carlson. Maybe that's how he "knows the CEO". LOL!

I never trusted that tool since that BS he wrote for MSNBC last year on being an "Instant Travel Agent".

I think you should "double dog dare" him to come up with an answer!

Nice work!

Will you be listing Candi's awards?

As you've requested from me, it doesn't look like you provided "Where's the beef?" Nothing new in this blog. I just see a bunch of crap with no mention of her 3 agencies or anything. Where's the beef?

So which do you think is more likely…

1. John made the story about calling Carlson
2. Carlson just told him what he wanted to hear.

I think he made it up because he didn’t think that someone like Candi could be recruited by both Carlson and YTB and have them pick YTB instead. We’re ALL a bunch of no nothings who don’t know a thing about the Travel Industry.

Doug;

John appears to have come clean about this Carlson bit over on his blog.

Termination ...
- end in time or existence
- the act of terminating

Terminating ...
- to form an ending
- to come to an end of a line

I know some major employers who refer to someone leaving a company as 'terminated' whether they resigned or were fired.

In 2001 (especially after 9/11) a lot of agencies consolidated therefore the closing agency/branch agreement with their host would have been 'terminated.'

Not a bad connotation.

Fair enough John. I have to wonder why the industry changes that happened to you and others only affected you and your counterparts? Do you think that possibly Candi was going through the same struggles you were?

Apparently your New Horizon venture never panned out either since you are now independent again with TravelswithFred.

Yet Candi was scorned, ridiculed, slandered, and her good name has been dragged through the mud simply because you couldn’t take the time to verify information correctly. Even when offered to pick up the phone to call Candi personally to discuss the situation, you never lifted a finger. (She carbon copied me on the 4 or 5 e-mail’s sent to you asking what you needed.)

But instead, I see some lame comment that you’re “still waiting” as of this weekend for credentials that you never bothered to ask for directly from her. And don’t give me that you asked on your blog, because she doesn’t bother reading all the trash talk and unsubstantiated claims being thrown out on blogs like yours.

In closing John I’m going to ask you a personal question which you don’t have to answer.

Did you just make up the story about contacting Carlson or did Carlson give you bogus information? If it’s bogus, I’d begin to question how good your relationship is with them and my bet is, they just told you what you wanted to hear because like Candi, they don’t have the time or inclination to go chasing after your obsessions about YTB and the people involved in it.

I will give you this, you did “man up” so to speak. However, manning up doesn’t say much when you’ve been cornered with no other alternative.

One down…One to go…

John Freynaye the evidence provided in front of this court does not look very good in your favor. It appears that you have several failed businesses, a record of employees on the take a failed marriage and a propensity to exaggerate the truth. Scratch that last comment.....YOU ARE A LIAR!

You have used profane images of children, been abusive of women and when offered the opportunity to have your questions answered, failed to do so in order to push your own agenda. You sir are the lowest of the low in professional standards.

Before I pass sentence on you, are you sure you dont want to wager $10,000 on the validity of Candi May and her resume?

Martha, you will appear before this court tomorrow at 9 am. Would you like to place your bet now? Im sure $10000 would go a long way toward etiquette classes.......
